Understanding and utilizing digital marketing
By Archita Datta Majumdar

For this generation of marketers who brag about their digital prowess, their fast-paced actions and responses, and their potential to harness the emerging technologies, the reality seems to fall short of their claims.

Most of the ingredients identified as the components of effective instruction — things like clarity, organization and enthusiasm — are abstractions. They're intangible, without physical form. Their presence or absence is conveyed by the behaviors that have come to be associated with them.
